I joined a small group in 2007 to travel on both the Fairy Meadows road and the Karakoram Highway to China. Scary as help, but our drivers got us through, smiling all the way. At one stage, the Karakoram Highway was blocked by an avalanche, with traffic backed up on both sides, the drivers chatted away to each other and brewed tea in the middle of the road. The Government had a special team on hand to clea4 the avalanche. By noon the next day we were able to proceed. I live in Kenya, where our roads can be pretty bad, and I have driven on our worst ones. But nothing like these. Hats off to those incredble drivers. As for me... Never again. Once in a lifetime was quite enough!!

My hubby, our two older kids and I drove the Hana Highway in '06. It was an all day road trip and so fun.. Twists, turns and narrow, not much wider than one lane where getting two cars side by side was a challenge. It was a beautiful drive through rainforests with many little bridges and gorgeous waterfalls We learned by reading before we went that after you finally get to Hana many people will turn around and head back the way they came because the road degrades after you get past the town of Hana. However we were also warned ahead that even though the road does keep going and is drivable but it is best to have a more rugged type car/SUV. The road will get even narrower, rougher, not 100% paved and edge of cliff driving. Well we had rented an SUV ( and although we aren't normally adventurers ) on we went! Yep the Hana Highway changed after the town of Hana. They weren't lying. It turned into many dirt/gravelly road areas. It wasn't a nice little paved lane anymore. No longer beautiful lush rainforest. We were no longer in the forest...think edge of mountain cliff. The lane hugged the cliff so close we could touch it out our window in places. Out the other window, a drop to the ocean. Sharp turns along the cliff, normally very few guard rails and often looked like the road just stopped on a precipice that looked like if you kept going forward you would drive right over the edge and then fall to your death into the Pacific below! But it was a blind turn. ( I recognized one of those turns in the video) We would come to several signs in those situations that said to Honk to let a vehicle that may be coming the opposite way know you were just around the turn because it really was just one car width wide and you couldnt see around the turn. We crept along. Thankfully we only had one car we met coming from opposite direction. We had to back up on this harrowing cliff hugging road just to get to a spot that provided a few extra inches for us to scrunch over to let him pass us. Thankfully we didnt have to reverse back very far!! But that inside position was much better than the other car who looked like his tires were half on the road and half off the edge ( the ocean far below!) The road finally got better, wider and flatter and opened up ( and got safer) as it headed back into the interior of the island and away from the islands outer edge! It was a nerve racking journey along that part of the Hana Highway but worth it. Still beautiful sites to see after we traversed the scary part. Its a beautiful coastline. Breathtaking for sure. Maui is a beautiful place. Makes me cry for LeHaina and the Maui people. I pray they can hang onto their land and hopefully someday rebuild their homes and businesses. We had planned before the fire to go back in 2024 and take our 4 grandkids . I hope we still might be able to and help support their tourist business which so many depend on 🤞. Prayers for Maui and her wonderful friendly people 🙏

I've been there 3 times, my favorite place in the world , first time there were roads with no guardrails in some places but the roads were always wide enough for 2 cars . Last summer we stayed at imerovigli and going through there to our hotel there were quite a few roads where 2 cars didn't fit and you have to reverse to find more room ,sometimes on a steep road with a manual transmission . One gets used to eat eventually lol. As far as roads in this video ,the only one I would be scared to drive would be the first one shown in this video aside from being narrow the road Is prone to land slides and parts of the road being washed away sometimes . The trick I've found when going on narrow roads like that is to find a truck or a bus and get behind it Usually trucks and busses don't have to reverse too much to let others pass

The ongoing erosions of both land and roads due to the changing weather are never prevented by foreseeing and prevented. Yes, it takes excessive monies. Therefore, more economical to either chopper or a sizeable airplane (with ample sufficient surviving supplies) in and out. How narrow minded can anybody ever be?

Hairpin bends a switchbacks are there for a reason. You won’t be able to drive up a mountain on a straight road. You need the bends. I would drive all these roads except the India one.

Would love to check out these roads in-person. Id also like to offer up British Columbia (Canada) Highway 5 (aka Southern Yellowhead Highway / Coquihalla Highway), a 540km north/south highway through the Rocky Mountains. So, ya got the whole mountains/cliffs/sheer drops going for you, plus incredibly treacherous weather during the winter. Subject to sudden out of the blue blizzards that can dump 10+cm of snow per hour, plus rapid build-up of black ice makes this area very dangerous (and why it was one of the areas seen in the old Highway Thru Hell reality series. Meanwhile, during the summer heavy rains can cause flooding in areas (in 2022, bridges were washed out, and the only way off the highway was via aid from the Canadian Forces using helicopters to airlift stranded drivers!). Its no joke, I nearly met my own end here in winter 1999, as a passenger on a trip; it happened between Merritt and Kamloops. We left Merritt it was cool but sunny and a little windy. Less than 10 minutes later, blizzard with visibility under 5-7 meters and patches of the aforementioned black ice. We hit one going about 50kph, spun more than 720 degrees and ended up half on the shoulder, half on the highway. Less than twenty seconds later, an 18-wheeler blasted past us going *way* over the 50kph we were doing, narrowly missing striking the the front end (drivers side). AT the speed it was going, and being on the shoulder and not far from the edge of a drop, if it had hit, we'd have been goners.

Went up Mt Washington to the top by car. That was very scary (no guard rail’s either) will never do again. But that was nothing compared to these roads. Wow!

The Road to Hana is actually not that bad to drive-the road used to be dirt 35 years ago but is paved now. Yea, there are times the road is a single lane (usually on hairpin turns or before a bridge), but the hardest part is all the tourists that try to pull over to get out and take photos of a waterfall (there are many on the way). This blocks traffic in both directions, so now signs near the waterfalls state that 300.00 fines will be handed out to people who park illegally. The other issue is the locals who get fed up by all the traffic with tourists and they are just trying to get to work, usually having to drive to Paia or other towns. They get upset and hit the gas pedal, making it pretty scary when they pass you at high speeds. Just past the town of Hana is the Seven Pools which is a popular hiking spot. Beyond that the road continues on a circuit back around to other side going through traditional Hawaiian towns. Locals tell you to turn around and not drive through these towns as the Hawaiians who live there dislike white people driving through their land. Some people do, but it is not recommended.

I have driven the Hana road in Hawaii 3 times. Takes forever because of all the photographs one must take. There is a shorter but more challenging road on the North central part of Maui. When meeting another automobile there is 1/2" clearance between the vehicles. The outer edge of the road drops straight down hundreds of feet. ( we don't have meters in the U.S.A.)

3:48 that looks like an abandoned old logging road or something, not an actual road people are actively using
